Personally, I love the games. The first 3 games in the series are definitely in my top 3 favorite Super Nintendo games. The graphics are still beautiful for 2019 standards, which is something pretty special, as the games were created in the 90s. The gameplay is phenomenal, and tops all of the Mario offerings at the time (90s). Storywise, the games aren't perfect, but you're not playing for the story. You're playing for the gameplay, which is something the game excels at. The bosses are fun to fight, unlike the 7 or so times you fight the koopalings in Mario 3/world, and the difficulty is just perfect. It's not dark souls or kaizo, but it does provide a decent challenge. The physics, too, work greatly. Like, think of lost levels/SMB2J for a moment. That game would be great.. if it didn't have the slippery & just frankly bad SMB1 physics. If a game can provide a challenge, while still being a fun game to play (good physics), then it gets an A+ in my book. Also, unlike Mario, the series has remained relatively untouched, and hasn't had a 'Donkey Kong Country Sticker Star' yet. Even the recent games, DKC Returns and DKC Tropical Freeze have received pretty favorable reviews and don't stray too far from the original Donkey Kong Country formula.
Anyway, what do you guys think?
